DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010]FIG. 1 illustrates a pop-up hanger in accordance with particular embodiments. Apparatus 10 includes handle 11, hanger 15, telescoping rod 12, hook 16, and button 14.

[0011]Apparatus 10 may be used to hang clothing to allow access to difficult to reach closet rods. To use the apparatus, a user may place a clothing item on hanger 15 and hold the apparatus 10 by handle 11. The user may then trigger telescoping rod 12 utilizing button 14, which would extend telescoping rod 12. Once extended, the user may hold handle 11 and access out-of-reach closet rods and hang apparatus 10 from the closet rod using hook 16.

[0012]Handle 11 is coupled to telescoping rod 12. Handle 11 allows a user to hold on to apparatus 10. As an example and not by way of limitation, handle 11 may be a generally elongated tubular rod that is firmly coupled to telescoping rod 12. The present disclosure contemplates handle 11 being any suitable size and any suitable shape. For ex...

Abstract

In certain embodiments, an apparatus includes a hanger attached to a telescoping rod such that the hanger is operable to move from a first position, in which the telescoping rod is collapsed, to a second position, in which the telescoping rod is extended. The system further includes a mechanism operable to control movement of the hanger arms from first position, in which the hanger arms are collapsed against the telescoping rod, to the second position, in which the hanger arms are extended at an angle from the telescoping rod to enable the hanger arms to support clothing. The system further includes a button(s) operable to extend the telescoping rod and extend the hanger arms.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates generally to devices for hanging clothing and more particularly to a pop-up hanger.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Storage of clothing can be difficult for some segments of the population and damaging for delicate clothing items. Closet rods are often out of reach for some members of the population, including children, elderly, or individuals with disabilities. Small or delicate clothing may be permanently deformed when stretched onto a conventional hanger.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]In certain embodiments, an apparatus comprises a telescoping rod, a first arm and a second arm, a runner, a first arm support and a second arm support, and a hook. The telescoping rod comprises a top rod end, a bottom rod end, and one or more overlapping sections. The first and second arms are generally symmetric about the rod, each arm comprising a distal arm end and a proximal arm end. The proximal arm end is coupled to a top portion of the appara...
